JNUG provides geared exposure (2x) to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Indexa market-cap-weighted index of global gold mining companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from gold or silver mining activities. The index caps exposure to silver mining firms at 20% during each quarterly review. The term junior refers to the size of these firms. The small-cap exposure slightly dilutes its exposure to gold relative to our benchmark for gold. Like most leveraged products (including sister fund JDST, which provides -2x exposure to the same index), JNUG's exposure is reset daily. The fund is therefore designed to be used as a tactical trading tool. Investor experience may deviate if shares are held longer than a day. Tradability is paramount for a tactical toolwhich a 2x play on gold surely is. Trading costs should be taken into consideration. Effective 4/24/2017, JNUG resumes daily creations. Prior to March 31, 2020, the fund provided 3x exposure to the same index.
